One month is quickly coming to an end! School’s been alright, finishing up of the syllabus, starting revision, still travelling just as much, with Jon coming to fetch occassionally..hehe :)

Had our first 2 sessions of Uconnect and i’m looking forward to a challenging, yet, exciting year ahead!

 

Today’s the first day of  CNY! Travelled to a number of relative’s place..from sengkang to pasir ris, to jurong east, to clementi, now back to pasir ris. Gosh, the travelling makes me want to gag. My really really nice Aunt lent me her SLR for the CNY period!

From Jon Wong’s blog


President Obama ended his speech last night for a call of Unity and Freedom. The notion of Total Liberty in my opinion doesn’t guarantee total freedom, or total unity.

So now, even as news channels show scenes from all over the world embracing a new leader, a reminder for all of us, that God is a Sovereign God, that God is above all that we can see.

 Isaiah 31:1

Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, who rely on horses, who trust in the multitude of their chariots and in the great strength of their horsemen, but do not look to the Holy One of Israel, or seek help from the LORD. 

May we be like King David, when he said this prayer…

“Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.”
Psalms 20:8

Back from the long long hiatus. :)

 

The year 2008 is long gone and 2009 is here. 2008 has been a year of change, a year of much excitement, a year of a few hurts and confusion, a year of confirmations in my life, a year i saw friends and sister leaving overseas, a year i thought i would be a loner, a year i made many more friends instead, a year i my dad and brother became my confidante (for a while when mum and ivan were away), a year i saw God’s hand move so mightily in my life, a year I received so much from Him.

 

2009 is thus going to be a year of much giving, a year of maturing myself in Him, a year of nurturing others in Him, a year of loving others the way He loves me, a year of sacrificing as He has sacrificed, a year of studying much more, a year of focusing on what is ahead and not what has passed, and a year of loving the one who’s brought me much joy in the last few months :)

 

Very late post on Uconnect chalet. I felt it was really fantastic, seeing the way the youths were so ONZ to stay up the second night to play UNO with each other, talk the night away despite 2 rooms having leaking windows and ceilings. I hope it was a good time of bonding and this will bring about a fantastic 2009. Some photos which  i ripped off rachels facebook.
